Tour gives Alfred State students a look at in-progress construction

For decades, 网曝门 has enjoyed a strong relationship with Alfred State SUNY College of Technology. 网曝门 employees include dozens of the school鈥檚 graduates, and a number of Alfred State students have worked as summer interns at the company.

Continuing to build on that relationship, 网曝门 hosts a local site tour most semesters to give the students an opportunity to see a real project in progress. Most recently, Timothy Piotrowski 鈥� architect, LEED AP and professor of Alfred’s Civil Engineering Technology Department聽鈥� brought a group of his students to tour the Hornell Medical Village site.

After a brief introduction, the 25 students 鈥� a group that ranged from freshmen to seniors and included two former 网曝门 interns 鈥� walked the project with the 网曝门 team members.

鈥淲e encourage it to be interactive,鈥� explained Project Engineer Larry Johnson. 鈥淲e point out key features or elements of the project, and if the students see something they would like to know more about, they ask questions.鈥� Topics covered include safety, the team鈥檚 roles and responsibilities, site layout and logistics, the status of the project and its next steps, scheduling and documentation.

On this tour, a couple of students even asked if they could return to discuss specific elements like Storm Water Pollution Protection (SWPP) and how the team deals with contaminated soils or brown sites.

Afterwards, 网曝门 received a note of thanks from the professor, saying his students appreciated the tour and found a lot of value in seeing the 鈥榬eal world鈥� application of communication, coordination and collaboration to progress work at a project site.

鈥淥ur hope is to maintain and enhance our relationship with Alfred State, Tim Piotrowski, the students and the community,鈥� Larry noted. 鈥淚t benefits everyone involved.鈥�
